Everyone: Summoners are weak? One gold entry at level 1

Chapter 874, Section 222: Counter-pushing, summoning the spirit of immortality.

Shen Fei stood at the front of the formation, his eyes cold. Without saying a word, with a thought, he summoned his legion, which moved with effortless ease, unleashing a highly efficient slaughter and purification.

The Gu Immortal's true form hummed, and the endless sea of ​​insects surged once more, transforming into a moving dark tide that rushed towards the land tainted by demonic energy.

Wherever it passed, low-level demons were instantly devoured, and even the pervasive filthy demonic energy became food for the swarm, being frantically consumed and purified, revealing the scorched land below that no longer exuded any evil aura.

As the Holy Maiden stepped through the air, the Dao Stele of Returning to the Void crashed down, and the ripples of annihilation spread like mercury across the ground, precisely covering those demonic strongholds that were deeply shrouded in demonic energy and stubbornly resisting.

Wherever the inscription reached, the distorted buildings, howling monsters, and the dense, lingering demonic energy were all erased as if wiped away by an eraser, silently turning into nothingness, leaving only patches of exceptionally clean empty space.

With a maniacal laugh, Chi You charged into the densely packed area of ​​demons. His ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body was like a meat grinder, and every swing of the Tiger Soul Demon Blade brought up a shower of blood and shattered limbs.

The figure of the Time-Space Scythe flickers across the battlefield. With each swing of the scythe, a powerful monster leader or key figure is "existentially obliterated" and falls silently.

The Assassin roams the shadows, clearing out any stragglers and elite monsters attempting to retaliate.

The process of reclaiming lost territory was astonishingly swift. The summoned legions advanced with overwhelming force, followed closely by the cultivators of Changsheng City, who wiped out the remaining forces and recaptured one shattered town after another, as well as sacred mountains.

A massive number of abyssal monsters were annihilated. The materials and crystal cores that were released after their deaths were swept away by Shen Fei's divine power and thrown into the Chaos Furnace before they even hit the ground.

The continuous stream of sacrifices transformed into an incomparably pure torrent of experience. Shen Fei's aura rose steadily at a visible speed, his divine court within his body roared, and the eleven main star grotto-heavens became increasingly bright and vast.

After clearing out three large monster gathering points in succession, an even stronger wave emanated from his body.

Level increased to 238!
A feeling of power surged through his body, and his control over his summoned beasts became increasingly refined, boosting his output once again.

The cultivators of Antarctica were utterly shocked by the unstoppable advance before them and the godlike and demonic summoning legion. What followed was ecstasy and unprecedented confidence.

More and more independent cultivators and remnants of small sects emerged from their hiding places and joined the counterattack, their morale soaring.

However, under the intense and continuous combat, Shen Fei keenly sensed a slight discord.

The azure light emanating from the Shennong Cauldron remained magnificent, but faced with the continuous healing and purification of such a vast battlefield, the speed at which its light recovered seemed to gradually fall behind the rate of consumption.

The damage suffered by some frontline swarms and companion spirits is recovering at a slower pace than before.

"The range is sufficient, but the endurance and explosive recovery are still lacking." Shen Fei's gaze swept across the battlefield, and he thought to himself, "For a long-term advance, the army needs a more powerful recovery core."

The counter-offensive iron torrent crushed the scorched earth, its advance aimed directly at the "Forest of Spiritual Essence." This vital energy hub, once enlightened by the Eternal Emperor and brimming with life, has now been utterly corrupted by the abyss.

Ancient trees twisted into hideous claws, the earth seeped out filthy slime, and the air was filled with a nauseating decay and deathly silence.

On the outskirts of the forest, monstrous, corrupted plants and abyssal beasts surged forth like a tide, among which several "Corrupted Ancient Tree Demons" at the peak of the Xuanxian realm stood out.

They were once the guardians of this place, but now they have become twisted monsters. Shen Fei's eyes remained calm, but his thoughts stirred slightly.

The sea of ​​Gu Immortal Insects was the first to charge forward, engaging in a fierce battle with the demonized army, the sounds of gnawing and roaring deafening.

Chi You roared excitedly, his ten-thousand-foot-tall demonic body charging forward. The Tiger Soul Demon Blade, carrying a murderous aura that could tear everything apart, directly cleaved the largest ancient tree demon in two!

The figure of the Time-Space Scythe flickered at the edge of the battlefield. As the scythe swung, the core existence of another ancient tree demon was silently erased, and its massive body suddenly stiffened and fell to the ground.

The demonic army was swiftly defeated.

As the group ventured deeper into the heart of the forest, the sight they encountered was horrifying:
The "Spring of Immortality," which should have been gushing forth with colorful rays of light, has almost completely dried up. The edges of the spring are covered with wriggling, pitch-black demonic patterns, and the few remaining drops of water are murky.

Beside the spring, a huge ancient tree, its entire body jet black and its branches dancing like venomous pythons, takes root here.

That is the "Spirit of Immortality," the guardian of the spring that has been completely polluted and eroded.

Sensing the presence of living beings, it emitted a piercing shriek, and countless black roots with barbs burst forth from the earth, swirling with intense corrosive energy and spiritual pollution, frantically attacking the group. The Holy Maiden stepped forward, and the Dao Stele of Returning to Nothingness descended with a deafening roar. Ripples of annihilation spread, annihilating and purifying large swaths of the roots and spiritual pollution, while simultaneously forcefully dispelling the dense demonic energy surrounding the spring.

Shennong, surrounded by a radiant blue light of life, tried to shower it upon the spirit of immortality, attempting to awaken its inner vitality.

However, the boundless vitality was like being plunged into a bottomless abyss, causing only a barely perceptible ripple on its surface before being swallowed by the deeper darkness, which only spurred it to become even more violent.

“The source has been completely polluted; conventional purification methods are useless,” Shen Fei observed coldly and made his judgment.

He sensed that the life essence contained within this immortal spirit was of an extremely high level, and its recovery ability was even more abnormal, but it was completely distorted and controlled by the power of the abyss.

"Chi You, kill him." Shen Fei's command was concise and cold.

"Understood!" Chi You laughed wildly, raising his demonic blade high. The power of the newly born "Human Emperor" Dao Fruit, mixed with the annihilation Dao patterns of the [Myriad Tribulations Return to the Void Blade], transformed into a chaotic blade light that seemed to split the heavens and earth, and slashed down fiercely!

Boom!

With a deafening roar, the ancient black tree was cleaved in two by a violent force. Its massive body convulsed violently, uttering a final, mournful cry, before finally collapsing completely, turning into countless black wood chips and the remaining, pure yet chaotic life energy.

Meanwhile, his legions had efficiently cleared the battlefield.

Shen Fei activated the Divine Court, and the phantom of the Chaos Furnace reappeared, devouring and sacrificing all the spoils of war!

A vast and boundless energy surged into his body like a river bursting its banks, propelling his level barriers to break through at an astonishing speed.

Under the astonished gazes of Elder Xuanmiao and the others, Shen Fei's aura steadily increased, eventually stabilizing at a new level.

Level 244!
A feeling of being filled with energy spread throughout my body.

Shen Fei turned his gaze to the vast core of life essence that remained in the air after the collapse of the Spirit of Immortality, and no longer hesitated.

The divine court opened wide, and chaotic energy swirled upwards.

"call!"

[Talent: Fountain of Life (Primal Tier 10):]

① Unending Source: The spirit of immortality resonates with the life essence of heaven and earth.

③ Symbiotic Contract: The Spirit of Immortality can select several friendly units (the number increases with level) and form a symbiotic contract with them.

At the same time, 100% of the damage will be transferred to the Spirit of Immortality.

④ Life Domain: A vast life domain naturally forms around the Spirit of Immortality. All friendly units within the domain continuously regenerate health and mana, and gain 30% damage reduction. The domain's range and effects increase with level.
